Congress, Obama and Tea Parties – Oh My!
Kristi had to go and send me some really good stories today. I have so much homework that I don’t have time to do these stories justice, so I figure I would do them as a headline posts.
The first story I have not had time to research to make sure the facts are straight. However the author of this article is a lawyer who has had a national litigation practice and a graduate of Dartmouth and Harvard Law school. So, something tells me my mediocre research abilities wouldn’t even compare.
Caterpillar said Obamacare will cost it an additional $100 million in the first year; Medtronic warned that the new tax on its products "could force it to lay off a thousand workers;" Verizon told its employees that it "will likely have to cut healthcare benefits to offset the new costs;" and AT&T announced that it will record a $1 billion non-cash expense in the first quarter and "will be evaluating prospective changes to the active and retiree health care benefits offered by the company."
Get good grades or the Hamster gets it
Image you have a 12 year old son. He’s in the preteen years and we all know what that is like! I’ve always felt that the preteen boys have it worse than the preteen girls. There voices are changing, they are growing in more ways than one, they are confused about girls but they know they like them. I know that my nephews had problems understanding the concept of school, education and good grades
whenever a pretty girl entered the room (literally, or on TV or in their imagination…….) Now the questions is: What do you do to make them realize the importance of getting good grades?
How about grounding him from computer games or the TV. Taking away phone privileges is a big one now a days. How about making him go to the movies with his *gulp* Grandmother! That just may be too cruel. So, what to do? I know, have him kill his pet hamster! Wait……..what?
Some Bad News for the Obama Administration
Little by little the MSM is beginning to wake up…..sort of. They are beginning to see that the conservatives had a reason for being concerned about what Obama and the Dems have been saying for the past couple years. Here are 4 stories that show that ‘We The People’ are now paying attention to the many lies that were told on the campaign trail:
1. When the information isn’t favorable – scream bias!
After the election, a progressive Web site said Rasmussen had the third-highest mark for accuracy in predicting the outcome of the 2008 presidential primaries. And his last general election poll came within tenths of a point of the final result.
However, the Rasmussen polls are not favorable to Obama anymore so guess what…..
The Earth has been Warming for 90 years!
Ee Gads! This is getting good. Some armature sleuths at Watts up with that blog have found some interesting articles that discuss the horrors of climate change and the ice caps melting…..from the 1920’s and 1930’s! Gee, I wonder how long the ice caps have to be melting before they will disappear. So far, 90 years isn’t long enough.
In the Monthly Weather Review in 1922 (which was discussed in a Washington Post article in that same year) says almost the same thing as what we have been hearing for a decade or two. Here are some highlights:
CNN is DOA, NJ says ‘no’ to Bible, and Adult Stem Cells successful again
My sisters are both CNN watchers. So, I absolutely love reporting this:
CNN will finish 2009 behind MSNBC in prime-time ratings, the first time CNN has ever trailed a competitor other than the Fox News Channel over a full calendar year.
CNN will finish the fourth quarter of 2009 in fourth place — another first — and with two weeks left has been fourth on more than 100 nights this year.
Fox has averaged 699,000 viewers for the year, up 10 percent, in the weeknight prime-time hours…..MSNBC was second with 307,000 viewers, while CNN averaged 297,000.
In ratings for the total day, Fox, which was up 16 percent, averaged 320,000 viewers for the year, while CNN was down 24 percent, to 185,000, and MSNBC was down 21 percent, to 149,000 viewers.

4 Cops killed so Huckabee won’t win 2012 election
Yes, you read that right. The liberal media has already politicized the shooting at a Seattle coffee shop that killed 4 police officers.
Here is information on the only suspect:
(Maurice) Clemmons has a long criminal record in Arkansas and Washington. He was released from custody in Pierce County just a week ago, and was facing a charge of raping a child. Family members described him as being in a state of mental deterioration. Last spring, he was also accused of punching a sheriff’s deputy in the face.
At the time this is being wrote the suspect is in a standoff with the police and has
not been taken into custody. Basically – the story hasn’t even ended yet. This hasn’t stopped the press from attacking former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee for commuting Clemmons 95 year sentence. Basically Huckabee followed one of the main democratic talking points of not allowing juveniles to have excessively long sentences for crimes. This talking point has even made it to the U.S. Supreme court.
Custody dispute, kick a Jew and High Jumper
There are three more stories that I would like to share. This has been a busy week!
There is a custody dispute going on. The parents were lesbian partners and the Judge has awarded custody to the non-biological mother. The biological
mother renounced homosexuality when they broke up in 2003. She was found in contempt of court for not letting her ex partner have access to the child this year. The Judge feels that the only way to ensure equal access to the child was to switch custody. No mention on why the biological mother decided to stop visitations after 6 years.
10 Florida middle school students received in school suspension for participating in “Kick a Jew day”. The school will now have “cultural sensitivity training” in the mornings.
Darwin’s Creature Marries Virtual Declaration
Hey! It’s been awhile since I’ve done a headline post. I found these stories of interest, combined the information together for the title and will now share with you!
A rare first edition of Charles Darwin’s “On the origin of Species” is being auctioned off in London. The best part – the family that donated it kept it
in the “reading” section of their lavatory.
Dr. Seuss looking creatures are found in living below 656 feet – where the sun can’t go. A slideshow can be seen here. It is part of a 10 year census on Marine Life.
A man has fallen in love with his virtual girlfriend. He and his Nintendo DS are headed to Guam for a lovely ceremony and the newlyweds will stay for a Honeymoon. This marriage will be legal. He and his Nintendo will return to Tokyo for a public reception.
Bully’s in the White House
I can’t help but to laugh at all the people who are “surprised” at how the White House is trying to intimidate the news organizations into reporting only positive stories on what they are doing. Seriously! They are surprised. It’s not like we, conservatives, didn’t forewarn everyone that this would happen. You can go here and here to see just two of the articles I wrote on the subject before the elections.
Well, the New York Times, along with most of the other liberal news organizations, are finally waking up:
Mr. Ailes, (chairman and chief executive at FNC) who had reached out to Mr. Axelrod (Sr. White House adviser) to address rising tensions between the network and the White House, told him that Fox’s reporters were fair, if tough, and should be considered separate from the Fox commentators who were skewering President Obama nightly, according to people briefed on the meeting. Mr. Axelrod said it was the view of the White House that Fox News had blurred the line between news and anti-Obama advocacy.
America’s toughest Sheriff fights federal government
I just love this sheriff. Joe Arpaio is fighting with the federal government again. Why? Because he is actually arresting illegal aliens in his county. *Gasp* How dare he follow the laws of the land!
An Arizona sheriff known for cracking down on people who are in the country illegally launched a crime and immigration sweep in northwestern metro Phoenix on Friday, a half day after
officials in Washington limited his powers to make federal immigration arrests….
"It doesn’t bother me, because we are going to do the same thing," said Arpaio, whose deputies had arrested 16 people by Friday evening on unspecified charges. "I am the elected sheriff. I don’t take orders from the federal government."
